Geez I have to apologize to Sheri for not rating this sooner! I actually made this recipe last summer and opened a jar today, I thought I had already reviewed it last year! when I went to print it today I noticed that I had forgotten to review it! I have to agree with Susie in Texas this *IS* one of the better recipes for pickled jalapeno, not much changes here except if my memory serves me right I think I did increase the garlic slightly, I am growning jalapenos in my garden again this summer and look forward to making this once again, we loved this recipe, thanks hon!...Kitten:)

Thank you, and my mother thanks you also. She will only eat the ones like Goya, pickled in the cans and with a little oil, and these are even better.So pretty in the jars too, and I love that they retain some texture, as the Goya are mushy.I will use this exclusively as my Pickled Jalapeno recipe, and cannot wait till my peppers are ready to be picked.

I have tried several different recipes for pickled jalapeno peppers and this recipe is the best one I have tried. Very flavorful! The only change I made is that I used canning and pickling salt instead of regular salt. I never do a boiling water bath for pickles either. It isn't necessary because of the vinegar content. I didn't have 15 pounds of peppers to can, so I halved the ingredients. My family loves these. Thanks for sharing

I grew up in California and now live in Seattle Washington,and I really love it here! I've been cooking since I was about 10 and still enjoy cooking till this day. I don't really have a favorite food as I enjoy many different dishes. I do really enjoy cooking on a smoker, the taste is out of this world. I also enjoy barbecue, Italian, Mexican and Chinese just to name a few. As you will notice I also enjoy taking pictures of dishes I make, there's nothing like getting that great shot. Thank you for stopping in, I hope you enjoy my site!
